Melodie D'Altai

Melodie D'Altai from Ella K Parfums, composed in 2018 by Sonia Constant, is woody above all, with a strong amber character and lighter spice, floral, resinous and leather notes. It is a dark, warm composition suggesting fireside evenings in a remote landscape.

Saffron opens with a warm, slightly leathery spice, and whiskey adds a rich, boozy and smoky depth. Jasmine brings a touch of floral softness in the heart. Incense and styrax add a smoky, balsamic resin, while leather gives a supple, animal richness. The base is built on cedar, vetiver and patchouli for dry, earthy woods, with benzoin and tonka bean adding a soft vanilla sweetness.

It is worn by anyone drawn to deep, smoky woods. The whiskey, leather and incense combination suits autumn and winter, evenings, quiet gatherings and moments when a warm, enveloping scent is wanted. It should appeal to lovers of leather and resin fragrances who want something refined, and is less suited to hot weather or those who prefer fresh scents.
